Sunday schools and church education programs are floundering in most Protestant churches and denominations in the US, and have been for decades. In part, this is because we are stuck in schooling models, structures, practices, and assumptions born in the nineteenth century. This “stuckness” runs deep—in our psyches, our society, and the denominational structures, seminaries, and universities that shape and form each of us. But there seems to be growing momentum in recent years to abandon the traditional school-like patterns of Christian education in favor of more organic, intergenerational, liturgical, or communal patterns of forming Christians in faith. I am familiar with some of this literature. But what specific kinds of new patterns of formation/education are now happening in local churches? What is working and not working? And what new patterns may be appearing on the horizon? I am particularly interested in identifying workable non-Sunday-school patterns for “pastoral size” churches (75-150 in attendance).
